[QUOTE="soberups, post: 562981, member: 14668"] I have always felt that, in buildings that have TP-60s, [I]all[/I] new drivers who achieve seniority should be given a class in the proper method of hooking and unhooking a trailer, plus an hour or so of practice time to learn how to back it up. Too many drivers have their first experience with a TP-60 on the morning that they have been assigned to run a new route cold. A sup helps them hook it up, and away they go. Not knowing the route is stressful enough, combine that with trying to learn how to tow a trailer and its an accident waiting to happen. My building has 14 trailers. Odds are, an unassigned driver is going to wind up on a route that tows one sooner or later. All new drivers should be trained for this. [/QUOTE]
